Synergetic Contract Hackathon 0x03; (10 July, Online)

Develop a ride-sharing synergetic contract using Fetch.AI technology 💰 100,000 FET tokens in prizes

Ride-sharing is a key area where better utilization of existing assets is possible. Services like UberPool reduce the number of empty seats in vehicles on the road, thereby reducing environmental impact, energy use and congestion. To do this they use middlemen to ensure everyone is who they say they are and payments are completed.

We want you to use Fetch.AI’s technologies, both synergetic contracts and agents, to deliver this service. With a prize pool of more than 100,000 FET, we’re offering substantial rewards:

🥇 First prize: 50,000 FET
🥈 Second prize: 30,000 FET
🥉 Third prize: 20,000 FET

1,000 FET will be awarded to everyone who completes the project and delivers a working solution. Registration opens 10 July.
